Abstract: 16,135. H÷pner, P. L. Aug. 10, 1908, [Convention date]. Feeding and registering webs.-Relates to apparatus for guiding webs of fabric into tentering- machines in which the deviating web operates feelers for starting electric devices which position the guides, and the tenter chains carried thereby, relatively to the edge of the web. The web runs between feelers a carried by the pivoted guides c, which also support the sprocket-wheels c<2> of the tenter chains. The feelers are kept against the edge of the fabric by weights e, and are provided with screws f, g adapted to contact with stops h, i when the feeler is racked. The stops h, i are connected respectively to electro-magnets x<1>, y<1> located in pinions x, y running loose on the shafts Q, R. The shafts Q, R are geared and driven continuously from any suitable source. The pinions x, y are in gear with a wheel o, Fig. 10, connected by a pin p to a band-wheel l, which is mounted on a stationary screwed shaft k and connected by a link m and collar n to the web guides c. Should the web deviate, one of the magnets x<1>, y<1> is excited, and the corresponding clutch member v, u feathered on its shaft is caused to connect one or other of the wheels x, y to its shaft. The wheel o is thus rotated and the guides c with the tenter chains are moved to a correct position beneath the selvedges of the fabric. In a modification the guide is moved by an electromotor, which is mounted on the guide c and drives a worm mounted similarly to the wheel o. The motor is driven in either direction by a circuit shown in Fig. 9. As the circuit is completed through the terminals g, h or f, i, one of the magnets 4 or 5 is excited, and this by means of a lever 6 causes one of the levers 7 to dip into cups 7<1> and to complete one of two circuits A or B connected to drive the motor in opposite directions.

Inventor: BRUHN FRIEDRICH WILHELM GUSTAV
IPC: G07B13/00
Filed: 1909-11-18
Granted: 1910-11-17
Abstract: 26,816. Bruhn, F. W. G. Nov. 18. Zeroizing-mechanism.-In taximeters having fare and extras disks, the two sets of disks are mounted on a single plate and are adapted to be zeroized by a common slide. The pounds and pence disks m, o, i, k are zeroized by spring barrels which are wound up by the rotation of the disks, the springs being frictionally retained in the barrels. The shillings disks bear heart cams and are moved laterally on zeroizing before being acted upon by projections on the slide. Fixed zero stops m<4>, o<4> are provided for the pounds disks and spring stops for the others, those for the shilling disks being normally held out of engagement. The setting of the flag to the 'free' position moves a lever p in the direction of the arrow, and this, through a spring connexion q, moves a slide r. The bevelled edge of an arm r<1> carried by the slide r acts upon forks n<7>, l<7> and disengages the spindles of the shillings disks, thus allowing the pounds disks to be zeroized. Projections s<1>, s<2> on a plate s, secured to the slide r, engage heart cams on the shafts and zeroize the shillings disks. At the same time the retaining-pawls x<1>, y<1> of the pence disks are raised by the slide. The spring stops l<9>, n<9> of the shillings disks are normally held out of engagement by projections s<3>, s<4> on the plate s, but on zeroizing they are moved forward by their springs to cause notches therein to engage pins n<8>, l<8> on the disks. The zero stops i<5>, k<5> allow unlimited movement of the pence disks in the forward direction.
